Hello Gabor,

I believe I used the method you described to download zip files for rJava, tm, matrix, filehash etc etc. There is no windows zip file for XML, only a gz file which I can't get to load through install local zip file. The XML zip file I located on http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/ resulted in the namespace error.


regards

Bob

On a computer with an internet connection use your browser to
find and download the XML package zip file.  (Note that this
step does not involve using R.)

Transfer zip file to XP.  Start up R on the XP & use the menus:
   Packages | Install package(s) from local zip file
to install it.
